Advanced Bible Study Field Trip to the Dead Sea Scrolls

Fragments of the Dead Sea Scrolls were among the ancient artworks and objects featured in “Treasures from the Holy Land,” at the Legion of Honor in San Francisco. The Dead Sea Scrolls, one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of all time, were uncovered by Bedouin herders in 1947 and excavated by archaeologists in caves along the shores of the Dead Sea. Fragments of the scrolls were pieced together to form more than 800 documents, many of them Biblical manuscripts. In addition to featuring rotating examples of the Dead Sea Scroll fragments, the exhibit included artifacts from ancient Israel, spanning 5,000 years.


Pastor Exum took the Advanced Bible Study class on a field trip to view these amazing artifacts. The group enjoyed viewing all the ancient pieces as well as a trip to Fisherman's Wharf.
